Predicament

Predicament 26th Aug 2010

A crime comedy set in 1930s New Zealand in which a naive teenager conspires with two misfits to photograph and blackmail wealthy, adulterous couples. Predicament stars Jemaine Clement as the creepy Spook, The Lovely Bones' Rose McIver as the lusted-after Maybelle, as well as Australian comedian Heath Franklin, Wellington theatre actor Hayden Frost and musician Tim Finn.

Shot in the ‘Naki, this is the only remaining unfilmed novel by late Hawera author Ronald Hugh Morrieson (Came a Hot Friday). Director Jason Stutter has had a long collaboration with Clement, from his debut feature Tongan Ninja through to 2009's Diagnosis: Death.

Starring Jemaine Clement, Rose McIver, Heath Franklin, Tim Finn, Hayden Frost, Brooke Williams, Peter Mochrie

Directed by Jason Stutter ('Tongan Ninja', 'Diagnosis: Death')

Written by Jason Stutter (based on the novel by Ronald Hugh Morrieson)

    Jemaine Clement was really the only enjoyable thing here and if you like him you might find something to like in this film.
    Predicament comes off as a strange mish mash of Harry Potter-esque art direction and music with a story that tonally was aiming for comedy and missed all the dark heart of the story. What up with the endless swooping camera too?

    Yeah, this movie was beautifully put together, well acted, funny, gripping and certainly does NZ and Morrieson proud. Well done, Jason. It was way more enjoyable and slick and well-crafted than either of the other two nz movies I saw during film festival and please take it to the world because I think it will be appreciated out of New Zealand as well.
